THE WHITFIELD FIVE Brothers they were, those five were all boy Floyd, Hugh, Jim, Hollie and Roy Such a time they all had when they were young Going places on horseback, songs of joy they sung Saturday nights were theirs, to have such fun Going to the local dance, foes saw them coming and wanted to run Jim and Roy, those two stirred it all up Floyd and Hugh just had their backs, yup Hollie was youngest and missed many a fight But you know he was praying for them all to get through the night Going back home completely worn out All falling asleep on top of their mount Not to worry none, for they had had their play Sleeping sound as a baby, knowing their horse knew the way Waking up in the morning arriving home at the gate All was well, back then things were really great Now St. Peter is there, Floyd, Hugh, Roy and Hollie too Yes, theyre all there telling Jim, "HEY BROTHER, COME ON IN, WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!"
